Policy Advocacy Efforts and Outcomes for Rights of Migrant Workers Impacted by COVID-19

....... People Forum for Human Rights (People Forum), established in 2003 A.D., has been specifically intervening in the sector of labour migration since 2005 A.D., through the provision of free legal aid services, public interest litigation, advocacy for policy reformation, capacity development, and awareness generation at various levels. As continued advocacy effort, People Forum employed advocacy efforts during the lockdown period and beyond, to catalyse governmental accountability and support government in formulating new policies, procedures and programs necessitated by the COVID-19 context.

...... The objective of this report is to inform on the policy advocacy efforts led by People Forum for Human Rights (People Forum) during the lockdown period and beyond (April 2020 – November 2020), and document their outcomes towards reforming Nepal’s law, policy and programs geared towards alleviating the adversities created by COVID-19 on migrant workers' rights.
